Since Watergate, establishment American journalists have taken as their first commandment, Marx’ eleventh and last thesis on Feuerbach: “Philosophers have only interpreted the world in different ways, but the point is to change it.”Marx was calling for revolutionary action. Today’s pampered, pc journalists engage instead in radical misrepresentation, act as mouthpieces for their revolutionary allies, and silence their opponents. And so it is, with radical homosexuals’ attempt to destroy, or as they would say, “transform,” civilization through its most fundamental institution, marriage. And the mainstream media have signed on to the program.On Thursday, February 26, WNBC-TV’s 11 p.m. news devoted...

In the second week of September, a Gallup poll was taken to determine how much confidence the public has in the reporting of the news media compared to their confidence in how the three branches of the government are performing their jobs.

Thirty-five percent said they had little confidence in the reporting and eleven percent said they had none at all. The government got more...

CATASTROPHIC INTELLIGENCE FAILURE In 1995, the CIA and the FBI learned that Osama bin Laden was planning to hijack U.S. airliners and use them as bombs to attack important targets in the U.S. This scheme was called Project Bojinka. It was discovered in the Philippines, where authorities arrested two of bin Laden's agents, Ramzi Yousef and Abdul Hakim Murad. They were involved in planting a bomb on a Philippine airliner. Project Bojinka, which Philip-pine authorities found outlined on Abdul Murad's laptop, called for planting bombs on eleven U.S. airliners and hijacking others and crashing them into targets like the CIA ...

CBS Promotes Same-Sex Marriage By Reed Irvine The legalization of same-sex marriage by two Canadian courts has put new life into the homosexual campaign for its legalization in this country. In 1996 a Circuit Court judge overturned the law in Hawaii that barred same-sex marriages. This resulted in the prompt passage of a federal law defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman. In 1998, 69% of the voters in Hawaii disappointed the homosexuals by approving an amendment to the state constitution that defined marriage the same way.

Stephanopoulos Must Come Clean By Reed Irvine and Cliff Kincaid May 16, 2002 ABC News has been grooming George Stephanopoulos to take over as the anchor of its Sunday talk show, "This Week." Howard Kurtz, the media critic for both The Washington Post and CNN, predicts that he will probably replace Sam Donaldson and Cokie Roberts by this fall. He says this has sparked criticism from conservatives concerned about Stephanopoulos’s past services to Bill Clinton, but Paul Friedman, the executive vice president of ABC News, says they have had no complaints about his fairness in covering the news. Friedman apparently...

Our Must-See Video By Reed Irvine and Cliff Kincaid May 7, 2002 In a recent commentary, we talked about a new book, Into the Buzzsaw. It’s about the experiences of several journalists who challenged the government and/or their media bosses, and were either fired or discredited for it. Of particular interest to us are the chapters by journalists who looked into the crash of TWA Flight 800, which blew up off the coast of Long Island in 1996, killing all 230 aboard. The book was edited by Kristina Borjesson, a former Emmy winning CBS producer and reporter, who also wrote...

But the media have paid no attention to a book-length report by an organization called Human Rights Watch titled No Escape on a study of inmates in American prisons raping other male prisoners. This report says that...
